Planting & Care
Sow Drumhead Cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin or transplant to 18-24 inches apart. Cabbage prefers full sun and rich, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially as heads begin to form. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants are young. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and use row covers if necessary. Harvest when heads are firm and reach desired size.
